A Letter to David Lynch
I've got no sense of space and time
So it's fine
In this beautiful place
Where my brain once was
This is where I learned about the outer reaches
Of human vulnerability and strength
And what a human is made from
What it's made from inside
-- Lotje Sodderland
The album "One Day Free" takes its name from a line from the Lord Byron poem "The Prisoner of Chillon." The album was written over the period 2012-2016 and was heavily influenced by experiences with the US prison system and interactions with incarcerated individuals and their family members. It was also influenced by Richard Moore, the founder of the Irish charity Children in Crossfire, who was a victim of the violence of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, yet who practiced and lives forgiveness. The song "Malin Head" is dedicated to Richard Moore and the song "Song for Kelly" is dedicated to Kelly Renee Gissendaner.
